Alternatively, failure is built upon many successes. :-)

What happened to LINDOWS? I think the fact that they sold it in Walmart and other stores of the like, in addition to me mentioning it without a precedent means it’s a bigger flop than you once thought. :-)

I’m hesitant to call the the Xerox Alto a flop. It wasn’t commercial successful, but it wasn’t a commercial product, nor was it ever meant to be one. As a testbed for new modes of computing it seems to have done quite well, with the ideas it incorperated being pretty much standard in the computers of today.

I also am a little uncomfortable calling CP/M a flop. Was it really a failure? A loser perhaps, but that is not the same thing. I wouldn’t put it in the same category as the Newton, or NeXT or Lisa. Prior to losing out against Microsoft when Digital Research did not take advantage of IBM’s calling it was the most popular OS for personal computers. I wouldn’t call something a flop simply because it eventually lost a war to its competition. DR-DOS eventually came from, and that offered substantial competition to MS-DOS.

Lots of NeXT stuff is found in Mac OX X.

So, I won’t think of it as flop.

Success is built upon many failures.

People like to trash others’ faliure

when they have achieved nothing.

Steve Jobs flops: 3 (not the same three as the Apple flops).
